Amazon has just slashed the price of Magic: The Gathering's Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box for a second time, dropping it to a new all-time low just weeks before launch.
With the set arriving next month in June, the retailer has cut the price of the 30-pack Play Booster Box to just $139.55, down from its original $209.70 MSRP. That's roughly $70 off, and a noticeably steeper discount than the smaller preorder cuts we saw when listings first went live.
Save Big On Magic's Marvel Super Heroes Set Before It Launches In June
This is the second big discount we've seen on the Play Booster set, with Amazon originally knocking the set down from $209.70 to $189.99 earlier in the year.
Doing some quick math, a box of 30 Play Boosters, each containing 14 cards, would usually work out to $6.99 per pack, which is around the standard rate for Universes Beyond releases.
At $139.55, though, that drops to roughly $4.67 per pack, making this a far more substantial preorder deal than the earlier discounts we saw when listings first went live. If you were already planning to pick up a box, or split one with friends, this is the sort of price cut that actually starts to feel worthwhile.
Every Play Booster pack guarantees at least one foil card, though if you're chasing whatever ultra-rare alternate art treatments Wizards of the Coast has tucked away, your odds will likely still be much better with the considerably more expensive Collector Boosters, which are unfortunately out of stock right now.
It's also no surprise these have dropped in price, with market value hovering around $130 right now, (falling around 23.11 % at TCGplayer over just the past 30 days) it makes sense that a major retailer like Amazon would drop its list price once again.
Amazon is also offering a box of 24 Jumpstart packs for $115.99, meaning you’re saving 31% by buying them now, and the price per pack is dropping from $6.99 to $4.83.
Jumpstart packs contain 20 cards (including lands) that fit within one of 51 available Marvel Super Hero themes.
The idea is that you open two packs, smash two themes together, and have a 40-card deck ready to play with friends. If you’re careful, you can even separate the cards out and run them again, mixing and matching your options.
A box like this would usually set you back $167, so going halves with a buddy and getting 12 packs each might be the best plan.
The Spider-Man set may have been a mixed bag for some players, but Marvel Super Heroes still has plenty of momentum heading into launch.
With more reveals expected before release, and preorder discounts already heating up, this could end up being one of the biggest Universes Beyond launches of the year.
